Colibri Failures. by Stan Kochanowski
Martin, I had a similar problem with my old GR1000. This was due to (rechargable) internal battery failure - which needed to be topped up regularly - every month in practice. The Colibri has a Lithium internal battery which 'will need to be replaced after several years'.

Colibri Failures. by Stan Kochanowski
This is directed at Mal.com......net.au Come off it cobber ! If you wish to attempt a public put-down, carefully read what is written, understand it, digest it, sleep on it and then feel free to make an informed response. You have not achieved any of these parameters.

Artificial Horizon testing by Rory O'Conor
All I have an RC Allen Attitude Indicator Model 26 (Artificial Horizon) fitted in my glider for cloud flying. It is powered by 14V from a stepped up 12V soaring battery. ie plenty of power. It has been levelled. I am concerned about its current reliability when showing straight and level flight.

Jumpy needle by Ludovic Launer
Hi I have a Winter vario, which is works OK, but I find the indication a little jumpy... The system is not leaking, but I'd just like to have slightly less "gust" jumps and a smoother move of the needle. In my ASW20 there used to be a restriction in the tubing and apparently it did the job pretty...

New 7 part personal soaring movie in Utah by Bruno
I am amazed that more people don't film their flights and share them with others. Yes, it leaves you open to criticism - I know my yaw string isn't straight a lot of the time. If people had any idea what we experience up there, we'd have quite a few more friends soaring with us. The links to the...
